In the courtyard there's an apple tree, You can see it's branches sway in the breeze. I sit on the stoop, Watching, As summer strokes those branches. They say an apple falls right in it's place, I can see that's not the case, One lone apple blows over to me.
Fall is nigh, gather your children and head to the city. This year's will be a hard winter. I shall stay here to guard the village. As is my duty. My promise to all of you.
